History
Vyntalgia was settled in the late 900s by three Kindling families as a common area for the farmers. Over time, more farms were added and thus, more buildings. By the time the Demon King's army invaded in 1066 AH, Seven major farming families and the farmhands had settled the area. The Demon Army's battalion was lead by Commander Nicholi Petrov. The vampire held the village for six months before it was freed by Tylvath Delmont, Delilah, Flick Rossi, The Ableford Twins, and Olandel Te Luka.
After their occupation, the Rossi boys took charge of the village's defenses, training other young men and forming a militia. When the time came to push back against the Demon King, a contingent of the Vyntalgia Militia was sent to war as demolition experts. They returned home heroes with the favor of the Gyrmanian kingdom, securing their defense and freedom.
Since then, they have been a peaceful and self sustaining village, able to branch out and begin trade, bringing prosperity to the farms.
